Magnate, I followed your recipe exactly and the gravy that turned out was so sweet from the flavour of the radish and saury! I ate so much rice with it! But have you tried substituting the Saury with tinned sardines? It’s easier to get tinned sardines instead of saury near my home.

hello, maangchi,
i am a big fan of yours.
i have tried many times of this dish, braised saury, and every time, it turned out to be a very big success. thank you very much.
i was wondering, for this recipe, is it ok to use fresh saury instead of the canned?

I’m currently on a low carb diet (carb cycling) and this meal is perfect on my low carb days! I just eat it with tofu instead of rice. And if I’m on a high carb day, I eat it with rice like usual. I can’t find canned saury in the store, but mackerel works just as well. Such an easy and tasty dish!

Hi Maangchi, today I made this dish and already send you a picture of it…next time I will make a picture from my husbands smile while eating….:-) This was really delicious…thank you so much for the recepe! XXX Petra Lee

hi maangchi ! this sounds delicious ! my only question is , how much red pepper flakes would you add if you werent putting any gochujang in it ? im not a big fan of vinegar ( and gochujang has a vinegar – ish taste to me ) so would it work to just use red pepper flakes ? and i like spicy food but i wouldnt know how much to put in , i would probably end up making it WAY too hot lol !

I really wanted to try this but didn’t feel like going shopping for ingredients, so I ended up using a tin of red salmon for the fish and… potatoes instead of radish! I wish I’d had the radish, but have to say that potatoes are a classic combination with fish and they worked beautifully in this! A little sweet potato rice (three kinds of carbohydrates in one meal, oh my!), and spinach side dish, and it was just the most delicious, satisfying meal.

Like you say: delicious, easy, cheap, healthy. What more can you ask for?

I loved this recipe. The only thing I will do differently is use the fresh mackerel recipe, because I didn’t like the canned fish. Generally, mackerel is one of my favorite kinds of fish. I just bought some fresh so I’ll be making this again in a few days. I have to give my family a chance to forget the taste first. I couldn’t get enough of the radish and onion. YUM!

Hi Maangchi, I made this dish two days ago. It was so tasty, especially the radish, so later, I cooked more radish with the left over sauce!! It’s inexpensive to make and yummy. Oh, I made it with a can of mackerel last time because I couldn’t find Saury, but it was almost the same and delicious. Using canned fish is a great idea, so that you can eat its bones, too. Thank you, Maangchi. Your recipe is always great. :)
